Correspondence of the Democrat.
 RUssELLvILLE, July live find Tn the Clarksville Herald of the 7th inst, the following erroneous state ment which we beg leave to correct, to wit:
 "rhe Russellville Giants beat the Clarksville "kids" in game Of ball at that place Thursday. The Kids" expected to play boys, but were beat ten by grown men of twice their weight"
 Tke above falsehood must have been perpetrated with malice afore thought. We don't mean that the Editor of the Herald has prevaricat- ed, but we do mean to say that his INFORMANT has wilfullymisrepresent ed. There was but ONE man in tue Russellville club; and the combined weight of said niNe was when tested only lI5 pounds more than the com bined weight of the Clarksville Kids, so called; our nine weighing Il42 pounds. theirs 1927 pounds One of the Clarksville "Kids' weigh ed 126 pounds. We would like to know how large Kids grow in Una, town?
 Agaln, we quote the following from the Herald of same issue;
 "The Russellville club failed tt come up on the Fourth. Afraid perhaps"
 Should we play sad "Kids" agair we nave no fears of the result of tht game; but we failed to go to Clarks vile on the Fourth, and refuse to go now, to play said club, simply be cause SOME of it's members, while IT our town were guilty of ungentle manly conduct; they took down certain M. D.'s sign, and tore dowr the awning in front of widow la dy's residence.

Died.

Sidney Eugene Gray was born May 22nd, 1881, departed this life July 3rd, 1887. and was consequently 6 years, month and II days old at the time oi his demise He was handsome, bright boy, justly the pride and hope of his father and mother. But he fell a vic- tim to death and the "places that knew him" will know him no more, his words and smiles will no more cheer the hearts of loving parents. He was called from the world before he knew anything of it's sins, wickedness, and deception, and is ROW gone to the Upright shining shore where there are joys ever more.' We commend the sorr owing parents to the Advise Father who knoweth our sorrows and can bind up the broken hearted.

Courthouse Items.

Last Saturday Messrs. l.. D Ford, of Atkins. W. II. Poynter, of Dover, and J. NJ. Haney, of this place, courthouse commissioners, under instructions from the County Judge, examined the upper story of Capt. R. J. Wilson's brick store, to determine whether it would be suitable and safe as temporary court room pending the erection of the new building. They reported to the court yesterday that they found the building suitable and safe, unless in ease fire should break out in the wood- en building adjoining on the west, and in that event they feared the records would be endangered. They, howey- CT, would not recommend to the court that the records be not moved.
 The court in reviewing the report said that he could not entirely ignore that part of it referring to the danger of fire, but. believing the legal county seat to be at Russellville, the courts should be held here and he felt it his inty to order the removal of such rec ords as would be needed by the officers in the discharge of their duties. The balance to remain at Dover until the completion of the new courthouse. It is understood that the order for the re- moval of the records will be given next week.
 In the matter of change of site from the Jamieson property to the Wells corner, the court held that, having ac- cepted deed to the .Jamison property in the name of the county at the last term of court, and the same" having been recorded, he could not legally accept deed to another place. So he refused to make the change.
 This, we believe, will end the rivalry between the friends of the two sites and unite them in the one purpose o erecting the courthouse as speedily at possible.

es to accomplish this requirement lie will do me favor by dropping me card, for I am anxious to sec the color of his hair. Probably a man that can change 3d grade cer- tificate to first is your man, boys. Miss Holmes is teacher of no mean ability. She holds, I understand a first grade license with a standing, as near perfection as the average teacher, in fact she Is ABOVE the av. craze teacher. She taught two schools here before, giving entire satisfaction, and at other points where she has taught we learn that her schools have been success in every sense of the word. And had it not been for the insulting conduct of a few boys wearing mems clothes we doubt not but the school would have been taught through and Miss Holmes would have carried with her the love of every scholar and the grateful thanks of parentsfor the ad- vancement of their children and for the religious precept and example set before them, by her, which they have not had the advantage of at home. It will be remembered that the parents backed those linen boys" in their disobedience and ill conduct toward their teacher. It was required by Miss Holmes for each pupil to repeat the Lords Prayer with her every morning. Those "Ikes' simply told the teach CT they would not do it. neither would they quit school. The par ents said It was an outrage. The directors failed to use their power as officers to quell mutlnous pupils Yes, the boys kicked terribly at re- beating the Lords prayer and 1 will bet "yaller" dog that before Mss Holmes advent among them that if they had been called on to repeat the Lords prayer they would have chimed out: "Now I lay me down to sleep" etc. Acting on the parents principle that it is an outrage, sup pose it is an outrage for parents to have family service and do other re- ligious duties. If some parents will reform and some boys get religion again, yes, again, the next teacher W .ye an easier time Now dear people, if this saddle fits wear it. 1 always notice the Shit dog always hollers.'
 Wanted. Lone school teacher that can open school with prayer, cuss like sailor, play base ball 3 hours at noon and ride over his intended wife's farm after school hours. Flo further information apply at once at Possom Trot school house.
